ACCIDENTS, FATALITIES, ETC.

Edward Brady, an old miner working at Tokatea, Coromandel (Auckland), was killed on Monday by a fall of earth. The body of William Oinnaman, who was lost in the cutter Oe, was found on Monday on Panipani beach (Auckland), about a mile from where the wreck of the cutter is lying. The body was very much decomposed. The body of the other young man, William Turner, has not yet been found, but a party of volunteers is out searching. At the inquest on Mrs Winkfield, who was killed in Dunedin last Saturday by being run over by a cart, a verdict of accidental death was returned, and the jury recommended the City Council to place a lamp at the junction of the roads where the accident took place, ft appeared that a shower had come on when the deceased and her husband were going I home. The husband had gone into a t house to get a coat, his wife walking

on, and as she was a little deaf, and probably had an umbrella in front to shield her, she did not notice the cart. She was fifty-nine years of age, and had been in the colony thirty-one years, Mr Prise’ Mongatero Hotel, at Danevirke, was destroyed by fire on Saturday, The insurance was £2OOO on the building, and £6OO on the stock, in the New Zealand Office. A well-known jockey named James Carey was thrown from a horse on Sunday on the Panmure road, Auckland, and when discovered was found to be unconscious, and suffering from fracture of the skull, concussion of the brain and a broken collarbone. The unfortunate man was removed to the hospital, where he died on Monday. He leaves a wife and several children. A fisherman named Charles Johnson has been drowned by the upsetting of hia boat near the Sandspit Lighthouse, Auckland, outside the harbor. The deceased, who was a Swede, leaves a wife and two children. The search party who went out for the young man named Allender, lost on the ranges between Nenthorn and Waikouaiti, discovered two skeletons at the bottom of a deep ravine, evidently those of a full-grown person and a youth. As some matting and a primitive spooa were alongside, the remains are supposed to be those of 1 Maoris. Allender turned up safely, none the worse tor having spent two days and two nights on the ranges.
